If I could, I would give them a zero. Submitted an application for a puppy and it was approved, but…read moreapparently they didn't submit it to the foster. By the time the application was provided to the foster, after I followed up several times, the puppy was already adopted. Caught the Adoption Coordinator in several lies about the application process and breed (1st saying it was a Yorkie/ Dachshund mix and later saying they didn't know what the breed was). We had another puppy lined up to buy, but waited on seeing the puppy for adoption and now both are gone. If you find a puppy from a breeder, buy it. Don't wait on AHeinz57. They are worse than most breeders in Iowa who they constantly label as Puppy Mills.

We adopted a puppy from AHeinz in July 2024 after following the rescue for a long time. I felt…read morereally confident adopting through them, and it was a wonderful experience. I so appreciate the work they do. I really encourage visiting the adoption center, and considering adoption of a kitty or doggo from AHeinz57. They are thorough and adding a furry friend to your life is always worth it!

I am traveling with my new kitten and she got diarrhea and I had to take her to the ER. She is fine now but I wanted to get her a bath before driving back to Iowa city. The kind woman on the phone said they do not take kittens but would be happy to help if Alicia the groomer consented. She did, so I brought my kitten mango in. Not only were they so gentle and kind, they made sure to get to know mango and my's backstories. I even heard the groomer make it a point to meet the parents of other dogs she has just groomed to ensure she was 100% happy. I was nervous mango wouldn't like it, but she was so calm and sweet with them. I expected to pay about $20.... but nope! FREE OF CHARGE because all they wanted was for mango to get home okay. Goodness. Truly great people. This place needs more reviews and I would recommend 100% P.S mango says thanks!!

Our dog went through her final months in a good place due to their elite guidance, and when we recently had to put her to sleep due to medical issues common in a 14YO dog, I was amazed at the level of kindness and care they brought every single moment. I loved the vets, and their staff is unbelievable. I am not going to name names because I'm afraid I could miss someone. This is the highest recommendation I can give. They are sensational.

the ABSOLUTE WORST vet clinic I've ever dealt with. Very UNPROFESSIONAL. Additionally, Techs seem…read moreto be very immature and not realize the patrons can hear them while waiting, as they speak inappropriately, gossip, and make comments that can be considered disrespectful/disturbing. Its happened several times while I was there. I do not feel they show compassion to the animals as much as they should, they seem to be bothered at times and put out - I've seen this first hand. it's such an uncomfortable feeling so I needed to go elsewhere. Owner isnt even a veterinarian, she knows nothing about animals/ she's a known psych major. Comforting....NOT!!!! Word to the wise - FIND A DIFFERENT Animal Hospital and Vet - these people are NOT who you think they are!!!!

Prior to my pup staying with Bark Ave. I was looking around at different places to board her on the…read moreday/night of my wedding. I've heard nothing but good things about Bark Ave. so I had my now husband reach out to them. Chloe (my pup) received a package in the mail from them with puppy treats, a toy, and other miscellaneous items. I knew from their interest in her that we had to board her there for the night. Fast forward to July 22, I was super worried about how she would be in a new environment since she is a puppy and she gets anxiety around new people and not being by/with her "mom". That night I received a report card with a cute little picture of her and it had no negatives about her; she even made friends with two other pups- Annie and Tator! When we picked her up she was super happy and the staff working enjoyed playing with her. We paid a little extra so she could have 1:1 play time and be let out more often since we are working on potty training. In all, I definitely recommend this place and I will reach out to them again if we ever need to board Chloe overnight for whatever reason.
